Bitcoiners, miners, energy operators, plebs, and maximalists—happy Ash Wednesday from Fort Bitcoin!
On this solemn start to Lent (February 18, 2026), we’re gathering at Henry McCarty’s Irish Pub—Fort Worth’s newest authentic full-service Irish spot (opened January 2026).
Named after Billy the Kid’s real name (Henry McCarty), this lively pub in Artisan Circle on West 7th serves classic Irish comfort: fish & chips (perfect for meatless Ash Wednesday!), shepherd’s pie, Scotch eggs, bangers & mash, and proper pints (Guinness flowing).
Theme: Ashes to Sats – Giving Up Fiat for Lent
Remember: “You are dust, and to dust you shall return.” Fiat turns to dust… but Bitcoin endures! Come repent your fiat sins, stack sats, and kick off 40 days of maximalism. Deep dives into mining, ERCOT, flared gas, Lightning, or just peer-to-peer vibes with the crew.
Whether you’ve got ashes on your forehead or not—everyone’s welcome: regulars, TCU Bitcoiners, DFW visitors. Bring stories, questions, and your wallet!
Pay-your-own food/drinks (~$15–30). Lightning zaps encouraged for tips/splitting tabs. Fish options abound for Lenten observance.
Join the Signal group.
